Tommy Jones throws his ball in the air

[@TraumaER]

You have to be a bowler to understand how much strength that takes to not injure yourself. 💯

[@Deerhunterjs]

And why not holding on to it is probably easier than trying to control it to a stop.

[@craternose348]

Yeah tell me about it I'm a two hander so when I'm in the middle of the slide with my both my arms behind me it isn't the easiest when your going up with all that force to just stop lmao

[@angusevans0621]

The sound when his thumb left the grip is so satisfying.

[@yungzz999]

I always love to make that sound lol

[@thebarneykiller4167]

I know how to make that sound on purpose

[@Dakotah_Barlow]

@@thebarneykiller4167 congratulations everyone does

[@treyarico8140]

It’s the fingers

[@ck7191]

I know how to make that sound with a human body

[@Ewigi]

That was pretty impressive ngl

[@alexpalmer2774]

When they say to hold up on all warm ups

[@Andrux0821]

Underrated comment

[@louiemarcsalva]

Impressive ball release control

[@deoncasey2273]

was calm af caught the ball and everything

[@gamerdude422]

I can’t be the only one that read the title and thought he was going to chuck the ball down the lane or something

[@skylarbowen2439]

That was smooth tho😁😁😁😁

[@patricks_music]

I did this once but accidentally threw it hi and far down the lane, the pop sound was so satisfying. somehow got a strike too

[@ItsJustRJ]

did you foul tho?

[@patricks_music]

@@ItsJustRJ I was bowling by myself and stayed behind the foul line

Tommy Jones throws his ball into the air.

[@jnr1989]

This guy on his way to become a ball too

[@bummer8631]

That looked like it would have gone into the gutter

[@neilmontroy9123]

My brother tried this once when he was a kid, but didn't get his thumb out and ended up breaking his hand

[@danielkim6304]

와 이런 보크는 처음 보네 ㄷㄷ

[@aaronaguilar9172]

same i’ve seen balks before too but never like this one

[@sixtycargothefightinggameg569]

Imagine the pins feel down

[@blakfloyd]

Then cheer 'em up.

[@waynelassiter2290]

I‘ve done that…

[@cibianthellama]

Woah

[@timmontagjr.3171]

Does that count as a roll/throw?

[@carllmack2287]

No, the ball never crossed the foul line. It was a shot clock violation.

[@shaunmcisaac782]

If you successfully grab the ball before it goes over the foul line it is not a shot. As Carl mentioned, you can be penalized for slow play which is mostly a thing in the pros rather than league or even low-level tournaments. (Shot clock violations typically just reduce cash prizes if you violate 2+ times.) The rule applies also if you drop it, throw it backwards, whatever. It doesn't have to go over "your" foul line to count against you however. A throw onto someone else's lane is a zero/foul/whatever.

[@SlimJimJoey]

@@shaunmcisaac782 Touching a parallel wall to your lane (I.e. an end lane) after release of the ball into play is also a considered foul. I don’t see many observe this, though.

[@craternose348]

Everyone says impressive but when you bowl on a team with the majority doing the same exact thing it gets old lol

[@crescent__moon]

Oh.. wow

[@elr2141979]

I know what the big deal is Sean rash does it all the time

[@TheSports_Fanatic]

That’s a balk

[@itsAugmented]

And another blown call by Hernandez!

[@LukenUSee]

Then the runner should advance😉

[@Skdjdjdjsjxjxjd]

Finger got stuck??

[@ChanceOfOne344254]

small people like me can’t do that I would collapse ouch

[@kevinscarborough9982]

No he doesn't throw it. And nothing special about this.

[@perfect1150]

Should be scored a zero....he released the ball and it didn't hit anything.....different than if the ball didn't leave his hand....just my opinion. In addition if the squeaking is the reason he didn't roll his ball.....try becoming mentally tougher.

[@brittbrown4012]

Didn't cross the foul line therefore not a delivery.

[@perfect1150]

@@brittbrown4012 From that camera angle I'm not sure how you can claim the ball didn't cross the foul line, which BTW is only part of the requirement (by rule). The ball obviously left the bowler's possession. More likely than not the ball did cross the foul line into the playing territory. Leave it to bowling to have a stupid fucking rule....the rule should be very simple....ball begins movement towards the pins and leaves your possession....it's a delivery.

[@liambarron9772]

@@perfect1150 I don't think I've ever seen someone so confident when so profoundly wrong, and a ton of your body passes the foul line during delivery, part of your knee, your arms, head, and chest can all pass the foul line, but the rule of a foul has to do with touching the ground or any object past the foul line. you're the only person I've seen who has objected this rule, I actually thought you were joking at first because of how silly it was

[@perfect1150]

@@liambarron9772 Please show me the rule that states "a foul has to do with touching the ground or any object past the foul line". Besides, we're not discussing a "FOUL" here...we're discussing a delivery.....Talk about someone who is so confident when so profoundly wrong....I'll wait for you to show me the rule that supports your analysis.

[@Orenji749]

@@perfect1150 he is a pro bud. Not sure what the fuck you are but nothing important I know that much. I think his mental toughness is fine, and his resume can vouch for that. “A foul occurs when a part of the player’s body encroaches or goes beyond the foul line and touches any part of the lane, equipment or building during or after a delivery. A ball is in play after a delivery until the same or another player is on the approach in position to make a succeeding delivery.” Maybe do the 5 second google search and not look like a pompous ass next time.
